Why the Shaved Head Is This Summer's Most Liberating Hair Trend

 

At least here in the Northern Hemisphere, summer is long gone, but there is always the Southern Hemisphere. And let's face it: there doesn't seem to be a right or wrong season to shave your head, if that's something you want to do (just invest in some beanies if it's during the winter). In the meantime, the subtitle for this post is perfect: "If it feels right, go for it. It will grow back."

I SHAVED MY HEAD || SAYING GOODBYE TO 8 YEARS OF DREADLOCKS

How My Style Has Changed Since I Chopped Off My Hair

 From the article:

When I saw my shaved head for the first time I felt a weight lift, both physically and emotionally. It was the first time I felt independent from the hair that defined me for my whole life as a Black woman. I felt liberated.

... Because my hair was a statement in itself, I realised that I desired clothes that would offset it. I could elevate the simplest basics and make the most feminine outfit look edgy. It was going to take some practice to get all of this right. That morning, I ended up wearing a long-sleeve bodysuit with jeans and trainers — an outfit that I would have deemed too boring for me when I had hair.

Shaving my head... what a BUZZkill

The Hidden Message Behind Doja Cat Shaving Her Head

 

Doja Cat's decision to shave her head was quite easy to understand: 

The simple answer was explained by Doja Cat through an Instagram video. She doesn’t like having hair, and she’s never liked having hair.

The article goes on about whether women shaving their heads will become normalized:

For the women who have been proudly and beautifully rocking the shaved head, Doja Cat’s reveal may not have caught your attention. Yet for women who have tied their identity, their sense of self-worth, and beauty to how long and lush their hair is, the superstar’s act is a reminder to let it all go. What is most important is how we feel about ourselves. Doja has made it clear that she feels free without having to worry about her hair.

Hopefully, as the years go on, and talk about hair becomes normalized, a woman shaving their head will be a welcomed act just like a woman deciding to get highlights or braids put in.

We can applaud and admire Doja Cat for this brave move, not for simply removing her hair but for treating it to be as normal as buying a new pair of shoes. She wasn’t worried about what others thought. Instead, she was more concerned about having a shapely bald head, which she does.

Erin's video really does fit the basic vibe of this blog. She's very positive about her experience. She talks about the absurdity of what is this random social norm that has existed for a long while. She also experienced a bit of fear right before shaving her head, but she believes that fear of doing something you want to do is all the more reason to do it anyway. Besides, it's convenient.

I SHAVED ALL MY HAIR OFF- and this is your sign if you want to also

Daisy's own narrative about how she arrived at this moment in her life and what she hopes to get out of this experience is in itself worthwhile. Maybe it'll be relatable. Plus she raised money for a Ukrainian charity and is donating her hair to Matter of Trust (which uses donated hair to, among other things, help clean oil spills). If nothing else, listen to what she has to say.

SHAVING MY HEAD!

From her video's description:

Shaving your head should really just be a simple hairstyle change, and for men it typically is seen as just that.

 

But for women and non-binary folx? It’s damn near impossible for us to do anything unconventional with our hair and not be met with, “WHY??” or, “You looked so pretty, nooo!” or, “You know, you can totally pull it off” or, “Is that like a political statement?” (fun fact: when I dyed my hair peach someone asked me if it was a political statement)

 

*eye roll*

 

Shaving my head is something I’ve always wanted to do so I decided to just do it! Bucket list item, check!

 

But I acknowledge that as a woman this IS a political statement because I am challenging cultural norms on femininity, beauty, and what’s expected of women. Note: women are NOT here for your viewing pleasure. Don’t like my hair? Move along!

 

Shaving my head is so freeing not just because I don’t have to worry about styling my hair anymore, but because I am literally shedding off one of my ties to society’s expectations of women: long hair.

 

I don’t know how long I’ll maintain the buzz, but I know I’m going to enjoy it while I do!

How To Care For You Scalp | Product Tutorial

Everyone with a shaved head will have a scalp care routine. This is Nell Coleman's. Your approach may vary. The main thing is to take care of your scalp. You want that skin to be healthy and look good. By the way, this is the same Nell Coleman who started The Bald Movement about a decade ago - something that has evolved into something larger.

The rise and rise of the post-lockdown buzz cut

This article appeared in Vice md-November 2021, but the buzz cut is a trend that is continuing to find momentum and probably will for the foreseeable future.

An excerpt:

As much as we hate to admit it, when celebrities and influencers get on board with a trend, the world follows. Thus, the buzz cut has gone mainstream. In a short span of time, it has undergone a complete rebrand from being perceived as a sign of crisis to one of fall 2021’s biggest hair trends. This, says 26-year-old photographer Ella Ezeike, might be due to a shift in perspectives and beauty ideals taking place during the pandemic. “I think people are shaving their heads because they're not attached to the superficialities of who they are anymore or what defines them,” she says. “Shaving my head meant being free and escaping the constructs of femininity, it also helped me love my face more.”

Blog Maintenance

I've been spending some time to remove broken video links. Like anything else on the internet, vlogger content can come and go. Sometimes vloggers delete accounts. Sometimes vloggers decide to make content private (either temporarily or permanently). If content looks like it was made private, I simply revert posts to draft. Often, whatever caused the content to be made private gets resolved. Regardless, when a blog has been around for about 14 years, going through posts to revert broken posts to draft or delete them altogether takes some time commitment. Fortunately, I could make time this weekend.

The vloggers featured here may or may not know this, but they are likely encouraging or inspiring other women who have either shaved their heads or are thinking or doing so. In the case of hair loss, from any of a number of conditions (alopecia is most common), the vloggers are helping to normalize being bald. We owe them our thanks.

I will post new content as time permits.

This is a very inspiring speech. This is in part a speech about how she came to accept and embrace being bald some time after shaving her head. Part of her speech touches on the intersection of social norms surrounding gender and culture. This video is one that fits the basic themes of this blog. It is well worth your time.

Why women shave their heads

 

From the article:

Shaving one’s head holds a different meaning to everyone who has ever decided to say goodbye to hair. If you’ve ever wondered why a woman might cut her hair, Greta Cross, Britney Spangenberg, and Emma Wiltfong share their experiences of being women with shaved heads.

Shaved Heads Have People Buzzing

 From the article:

“Now,” Ms. Steele said, “a shaved head is increasingly perceived as strength and gender equality.

Host / Speaker / Spokesperson Reel - Current Look - Carly Tatiana Pandza

I've probably included a video of Carly promoting a documentary she created called Hair (not to be confused with the old Broadway musical), that was centered largely around a head shaving event in the mid-2010s. She's lately been dropping some reels of her work, including in this one, her work as a spokesperson. She is an actress, writer, and director who is very interested in empowering women in the industry. I really appreciate her values, and she seems to be living her values. Plus, she has some videos that are quite humorous.

Let's try something new regarding gender roles: gwwb.  Let's embrace our uniqueness. Let's shave our heads or buzz our hair off if that makes us feel better. There is plenty of support. Let's explore gender boundaries. Let's understand each of our comfort zones. No matter what, let's just have fun.

Because it needs to be said : let's normalize this.

let's normalize bald women. whether its genetics, medical reasons or for fashion, bald women are awesome. fat bald women are awesome, butch bald women are awesome, bald woc are awesome, bald trans women are awesome, sick/disabled bald women are awesome, non binary bald women are awesome. lets just embrace bald women ok?

Woman Lets Public Cut Her Hair for Powerful Message

I SHAVED MY HEAD BALD FOR FAZE1 (FULL VOD)

I know - nearly three and a half hours of video. She doesn't get to cutting and eventually shaving her hair off until a bit around the halfway mark. But she does have some reasons for shaving her head, some of which is to join the FaZe1 crew, and she wants to create a video entry that will get their attention during the latest recruitment challenge. But she also seems to just want to try a shaved head, loves how she looks afterwards, and she knows how to throw some attitude toward the haters. Her hair is being donated to make wigs for cancer patients.

ПОБРИЛАСЬ НАЛЫСО. ЗАЧЕМ?

If you use the closed caption feature and change it to your native language (mine's English), you'll get the basic idea. Shaving her head was a once-in-a-lifetime thing for her, but she really valued the experience, and she has some strong opinions on how we make too big a deal about hair, and how convenient a shaved head can be.

побрилась НАЛЫСО *не кликбейт* (волосы надоели)

A few words about this blog

I've been curating some new content and going through and removing posts where the links to the videos no longer work. Usually, what that means is I revert those posts back to draft mode just in case the content creators chose to temporarily make their videos unavailable. Sometimes, that is exactly what happens. Ultimately, that is up to the content creators. 

For this blog, I look for videos that offer a positive and realistic perspective, so you have some expectations about what you will likely experience once you decide to shave your head for the first time. Trust me - it's the lowest maintenance style you can have. But there is maintenance, even if you are planning on shaving your head only once, as an item on your personal bucket list. So, I do try to include some how-to videos for everything from razor shaves (for those who prefer a smooth look), to maintaining a buzzcut. I occasionally post scalp care videos. Although there a lot of pros to shaving your head if you identify as female, there are also some cons, so I try to include some pro/con videos. That way, you have a better idea of what you'll probably enjoy from your experience, but also the negatives you'll experience. There seems to be less social resistance to anyone identifying as female shaving their heads than when this blog first started. There are still stares. There are still the annoying questions, and there are always the creepers. But at least there is hope that being bald and female is increasingly normalized. 

Since everyone has their own unique journey to that moment when they shave their head for the first time, I really prefer to post videos where the content creators discuss why they are shaving their heads. For those who are bald due to conditions such as alopecia, I prefer videos where the content creators discuss what motivated them to be more open about their baldness. One common theme in a lot of those videos is a sense of irritation with social norms that make hair some symbol of attractiveness. The same social norms dictate what body types are supposedly attractive as well. Many of the content creators featured here express frustration about the double standard that allows men to be bald with little question but not so much for women. So in a way, this is a body positivity blog. Hair positivity is just another facet of body positivity. One of the cool things for me is sharing videos that make a statement: there is no ideal face shape, head shape, or clothing size needed to look good with a shaved or bald head. Some of content creators shave their heads because of hair damage. Others do so for religious or spiritual reasons. Still others want to make a statement. Yet others choose to keep their heads shaved for a long period of time. And still others just decided it would be a fun style to try out. Odds are in your favor that you will find someone on a video who shares your motives. That's a good thing.

Sometimes I'll post videos offering advice about makeup and accessories. Once you shave your head or once you decide that it is time to embrace your baldness, you find yourself dealing with the fact that your facial features really stand out. You also realize that you really need to take care of that sensitive skin that we call the scalp. One of the things I love about several of our content creators is how they show us that there are endless possibilities for experimenting with makeup and accessories. Sticking with the theme of positivity, I also post videos by content creators who see no need for makeup or accessories after shaving their heads.

I also post articles that offer advice about how to shave your head, how to maintain a shaved style, as well as articles sharing the experiences of women who do shave their heads. I am realizing that I probably should create a page with these placed together, rather than have them scattered over 1,000 posts. I've been updating the other pages as time permits.

Finally, let's be grateful to the women in the videos I've curated for sharing a facet of their lives with us. They didn't have to. They did because they had a message that they wanted to send to anyone viewing their videos: whether of them getting their heads shaved, offering their pros and cons of having a shaved head, giving tips on how to maintain a shaved head or buzz cut, or advice on how to accessorize if this is a look you want to maintain. My blog's intended audience gets it. It's just another hairstyle. Let's normalize it, already.

From the description (translated to English from Google):

As many of you know, I work in oncology and see women with this hairstyle every day, which is no longer unusual for me personally. What I want to aim for with my new look is to create awareness among you that beauty is possible with every hairstyle, always comes from within and is always in the eye of the beholder anyway. I would really like to see this haircut become much more normal among us women and not necessarily be associated with serious illness. So that one day it won't really be a big deal anymore to go to your hairdresser and say: "Getting naked please!"

Are There Any Benefits to Shaving Your Head?

If you've been asking the question, "should I shave my head?", this article is for you. It goes into the pros and cons, the latter of which are fairly easy to deal with. There is also some excellent instructions for shaving your head the first time, and advice for how to maintain your shaved head if you choose to do so. It also debunks the usual myth about shaving your head resulting in thicker hair growth. It won't. But it is an easy and inexpensive style to maintain. Just remember to moisturize your scalp and wear sunscreen if you are going to be outdoors for any length of time. Otherwise, as you've seen from the various videos and articles posted on this blog, it can be a fun style that anyone can pull off. The choice is yours.

The takeaway:

Whether your reason is health, practicality, or style, shaving your head for the first time can feel a bit intimidating. 

Rest assured that side effects and risks are minimal and easily addressed. If you have ongoing scalp issues, see a dermatologist for treatment.

A shaved head can be freeing, among other benefits. In the end, the choice to shave or not comes down to personal preference.
